Drivers for demand

• The world economies need raw materials, especially countries like China and India have a huge demand for steel, concrete and other commodities.

• The trend of raw material demand has been increasing steadily

• Mining is preceded by exploration that shows the trend described below.

1.6.2010

Pöyry/TYY13

• EU area is especially dependent on import materials. There is a new raw material initiative being prepared that considers this aspect.

• Due to country risk and unstable conditions (legal etc.) the politically stable countries are gaining importance on the market. This favors e.g. Scandinavian countries.

Raw Materials Group, 2007

Future trends

• The easily exploited ore deposits are becoming more and more scarce. This requires new solutions and considerable efforts for exploration and mining activities. Also environmental awareness is increasing constantly. Most of the financers do not participate to environmentally suspicious projects.

• As the richest deposits are being exhausted new deposits with lower ore grades and increasing quantities of byproducts (tailings, waste rock etc.) are coming into production.

1.6.2010

Pöyry/TYY14

• Ore:waste-ratio development together with increasing environmental awareness and reclamation requirements emphasize the waste management issues and possible further utilization of these fractions (e.g. rare earth elements).

• Open pit mining has been the most common mining method during the latest decades. However underground miningmay gain significance in the future.

Financing for Mining Projects

• ”The Bank pays particular attention to environmental sustainability, the mitigation of and adaptation to climate change, natural resource management, protection of biodiversity and safeguards to improvements of the general and urban environment.”

• ”Mine closure plans, including the elaboration of financial requirements,

1.6.2010

Pöyry/TYY17

elaboration of financial requirements, also form one of the requirements of the EIB (at the early project appraisal stage these can only be preliminary). As to guidelines on tailing, waste disposal and use of chemicals, EIB appraisal includes verification that the relevant environmental issues have been properly addressed by the promoter and mitigating measures incorporated into the project.”

“Seminar Themes:

• Abstracts fall into the following broad themes:

• Improvements in design of tailings storage facilities

• Dam break analysis: appropriate tools and calibrated case studies

• Appropriate in situ testing techniques

1.6.2010

Pöyry/TYY18

• Appropriate in situ testing techniques

• The application of geosynthetics in mine waste management

• Use of mining waste in backfilling of mining voids

• Mitigating the impacts of geochemical problems

• New approaches to the management of waste rock

• Accounting for climate change

• Sustainable closure and the concept of designing for perpetuity

• Improved management and operational strategies to minimise risk”

Project:

Belinga Mining Project : Complete Environmental and Social Impact Study (ESIA) of the

Belinga Mine and its 3 related subprojects

Scope:

The Belinga site, situated in northeastern Gabon, is one of the largest reserves of

unexploited iron in the world. The goal was to prepare an ESIA report for the following

subprojects:

• Belinga iron ore mine,

The world calls for Balanced sustainability™

• Balanced sustainability™ is a holistic, multidimensional approach to sustainability that we apply to everything we do.

• It strives to achieve a balance between economic, environmental and social dimensions, as most appropriate to the nature of the project and where in the world we are working.

1.6.2010

Pöyry/TYY24

world we are working.

• Pöyry will be designing realistic and innovative solutions that consider these three dimensions.

• We will continue to work in provocative areas, but we will push the envelope and propose more balanced solutions that offer the best possible path forward.
